I haven't come across notes in what I've read yet, but I am hoping someone might help me understand.
Let's say I have a zPool made up of 2 or more identical vDevs. How is new data actually applied to the vDevs? Is it striped? Written to the first available? Written to the least busy? (Failure mode of loss of pool sounds like it's striped, but assumptions get me in trouble lol)
Related, let's say I have a zPool made up of 2 different vDevs. (Let's just say one is a 6x2Tb raidz2 and another is 4x300gb raidz1). Obviously the different sizes and redundancy levels mean we can't stripe all data... what happens? they stripe until the smaller vDev is full?
Thanks
